*chuckle*

The Kicad folks have been doing a marketing blitz for a long time.
I've observed their graphics on this page many times.

The way I see it, Kicad is a fellow open-source project, and so they
are our friend, not our competitor.  If they want to blitz the world
with info about their work, bully for them.  After all, they *do*
support windows, so they can have the pleasure of handholding the
sniveling, unwashed masses.  (And they're welcome to it, IMO.)

The right thing to do is simply put a few gEDA screenshots onto
the wikipedia article, alongside the Kicad ones.  Why ask?

ISTR that you had some really nice screenshots of PCB, gschem, and
even gerbv running on a Linux platform.  Please remind me where they
are, and I will be happy to edit the Wikipedia article over the
weekend.

Cheers,

Stuart
